In what has been described as a random act of violence, 20-year-old Jayden Calloway was shot and killed on the afternoon of March 9, 2020. The incident occurred in the 1000 block of North Sheridan Boulevard in west Denver. First responders found Calloway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and transported him to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the shooting led Denver police to two suspects who had reportedly fled the scene in a vehicle.
Authorities later arrested 20-year-old Richard Marin in connection with Calloway's death. He is facing a charge of first-degree murder. A second individual, 19-year-old Raylene Chacon, was also taken into custody and is being investigated for accessory to first-degree murder.
According to investigators, it is believed that the suspects did not know Jayden Calloway and that the shooting was a random event. The senseless nature of the crime has left family and friends to mourn the loss of a young man whose life was cut short.
